Once again, the NFL was forced to pause an exhibition game thanks to a frightening injury on the field.
During last night's game between the Miami Dolphins and Jacksonville Jaguars, Dolphins wide receiver Daewood Davis was attempting to haul in a pass from James Blackman, but took a hard hit from Jaguars defender Dequan Jackson. He laid motionless on the field for several minutes while being attended to by team medical personnel.
Members of both teams stood around Davis in support while he was tended to; he would be rushed to the hospital. Soon afterward, the decision was made the halt the remainder of the game, which was in the 4th quarter.
The Dolphins have since released the following update:
"Dolphins WR Daewood Davis suffered an injury in tonight’s game and has been taken to Baptist Medical Center Jacksonville for further evaluation. He is conscious and has movement in all extremities," the team said.
Dolphins quarterback Tua Tagovailoa, who has had his own history of injuries, had the following to say about Davis:
"For Daewood, I don’t think he woke up this morning understanding that there are repercussions playing this sport, that this was going to happen," he said. "I don’t think anyone wakes up thinking things like that are going to happen."
He added: "I think it would have been extremely hard for the guys to have gone out and continued to play. The kind of person that Daewood is, a lot of guys respect him. He’s very well respected in the locker room. He’s a great player. He’s a great teammate. He’s a great person. It just would have been hard to have gone back out after seeing something like that."
